This Sunday at Lancaster First UMC, we will hear these wonderful words of promise during worship from the Gospel reading:"Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled, and do not let them be afraid." - John 14:27
We often hear these words at a funeral service or at a graveside committal as we say goodbye to a loved one. But they are also very comforting words during other storms of life like when we feel betrayed or we face a challenge greater than what we know we can handle or we step out of our comfort zones to be involved in risk-taking ministry and service.
This is a good verse to tuck away in our memory. And if you're concerned that you may forget this promise when you face your next storm, Jesus even has something to say about that concern. Read John 14:26
